Minutes after my mother left it got awkwardly quite. I wanted to tell William many things but I was to chicken to do it. I could tell he also had something to say but it was as if he was waiting for the right moment. I told William to sit down and I went to the kitchen to serve us lunch.

"So you work at the zoo William?" I asked as I placed the two plates of beef pasta on the table. I sat down

"Yes I've had my experience with Wild animals and I must say it is very interesting"
"Wow I would like to work with them one day"
"You could come by one day"

"Really that would be really nice William" He places his hand on top of mine.

"Mind my frankness but you just look so lovely today" this made me blush.

"You look handsome today yourself" I kept thinking… what if I gave love another try. I saw in his eyes my happiness.

"What are you thinking about cupcake? You seem spaced out"
"Nothing William just stupidity that's all… I'm just so nervous"
"About what?"

"I don't know, probably you?" he lets go of my hand.

"I apologize if that made you upset"
"Don't apologize William, I was nervous for another reason" he takes his chair and sits on my side of the table.

"You mind my asking why?" I could not look at him; I looked down on the floor. I took a deep breathe and looked into his eyes.

"I can't, you won't believe nor understand"
"How could you know that cupcake?" he smiled.

"I'm scared, very scared of my feelings, my heart and heart break"
"Are you scared of this?" he kissed me on my neck then on my cheek. I felt like I was going to faint.

"Yes… Just kill me already" he chuckles.

"I don't want to make fun of you. What I feel for you is something deep jade I told you that"

"I think I hear the door bell" I tried to quickly get up but he pulls my arm to sit back down.

"Why are you so nervous?" he still had his hand on my arm.

"I already told you William, please don't make this ha-" He pulls me into his arms and kisses me. This was a passionate and tender kiss. A kiss I never knew existed. I felt like Scarlett O'Hara and he was my Rhett.

"My beautiful Jade I promise to never hurt you, I only want to make you happy" I hugged him in a tight embrace.

"William" the phone rings. I did not want to answer but William made me.
"Hello?"
"Jade hunny could you meet me at the office?"
"Okay sure how come?"
"I have to tell you something very important and I could only tell you this in person"
"Okay I'll see you in ten minutes"
"See ya" she hangs up the phone.

"What's wrong?"
"It was Cecilia she wants me to go to Kaiba Corp"
"Oh Kaiba Corp?"
"Yeah I don't know why but I'll go just because she asked me to"

"Do you want me to come along?"
"No you have to get to work anyways silly" he smiles.

"Very well"

"Let me get my things" I quickly got my purse and together we walked out. I was on my way to Kaiba Corp. It seems he is always there, to my disgrace.

-Kaiba Corp-

I was outside Kaiba Corp when I saw Cecilia waiting there for me. I walked up to her. This must have been very important for her to be doing this.

"Honey finally! What took you so long?"
"I was with William! Cecilia we're finally together" She jumps and hugs me.

"Oh I am so happy for you both!"

"Thank you Cecilia!"
"So I assume you take valuable hours of work to jump around with your friends Mrs. Hayashi?" I turn around and see Kaiba.

"Sir I was going to tell her about"
"I believe that is my job to do so"
"What are you two talking about?" I looked at them both.

"By now Ms. Kimura you should have received an eviction notice. I plan to close that clinic down"
"What! I thought it was under my name"
"I won't discuss anything here. If you wish to speak to me then follow me to my office" I had no choice but to follow him. Cecilia looked at me with a sad look as she came along with us.

"Mrs. Hayashi this better be the last time I catch you off work"
"Yes sir" she quickly mumbles in my ear "good luck Jade" I walk inside Kaiba's office.

"So what were you telling me?" he said as he sat on his office. He signaled me to sit but I choose not to.

"I thought the clinic was under my name Kaiba"

"Who is the one how pays for the expenses? I do Ms. Kimura and I had enough. It was and is a waste of my money and time"
"I can't believe you Kaiba! What are you trying to prove with this? Do you plan to get back at me?"
"Don't flatter yourself Ms. Kimura" was all he said. I could not help but walk back and forth

"I can't believe this! After a wonderful moment, this comes along to ruin my day! You have no mercy Seto Kaiba. You could've thought of it as charity work"
"I had enough of it. Why should a stranger pay for the clinics expenses? After all that is what you wanted" I stopped walking and took a minute to think. He was right… I wanted us to be strangers and he was just doing what I wished for him to do. I was angry this meant the clinic going down, but I had to be calm about this.

"There isn't a way for me to keep the clinic? After all it is under my name!"

"Was Ms. Kimura may I remind you when we got married you wished to have my name under it as well? You said it was fair since I paid for the expenses" I forgot about that…damb.

"Very well Mr. Kaiba you win" he seemed surprised at my reaction.

"Oh…"
"You have your reasons I understand that. I will not fight about this as I did the first time. After all we are in different circumstances"

"I'm glad you see things logically. Now please leave my office. I have a company to run"

"Thank you for maintaining the clinic for all those years Mr. Kaiba" The clinic was the only thing that tied us together. He had power and I could not fight against that. I remembered the day I decided to do that dumb stunt thinking we would never part. He was the majority owner of the clinic. I was kind of like a representative. It seemed he ignored my words; he opens his laptop and begins to type. I exit his office.

"Sweetie I'm sorry," Cecilia said.

"This is my fault and besides that was the last thing that tied us together."
"Jade!" Mokuba ran up to me and hugged me.

"Hey twerp"

"What are you doing here?"
"Your brother could answer that one for ya. Sorry twerp but I have to go" I said good-bye to Cecilia and Mokuba and left Kaiba Corp.
